Abstract

This article, along with the conference of which it formed a part, aims to put artefact studies firmly on the agenda in the developing research trajectory of Roman archaeology. The previous neglect and belittlement of artefact-based research, documented in the paper, has seriously hindered academic enquiry in Roman archaeology, and an understanding of recent and current attitudes, explored in some depth through the analysis of questionnaire responses, web sites, and journal contents analysis, is central to understanding the current lack of finds researchers at university level, and thus promoting finds research in the future. The paper is an important contribution to the historiography of the subject, and is also very relevant to the future trajectory of Roman archaeological research.
